About The Artwork
La Lanterne Rouge gets its title and inspiration from the annual Tour de France national sport of cycling. The viewer is invited to puzzle over the use of symbols in the painting with recurring themes relating to time , for example, the cyclist is wearing a vivid green square watch on his right arm which appears to be holding up the bicycle seat , bearing the inscription "Infinite time trials". We are reminded of time in all its significance to our lives. If we look to the top right of the painting we can see what is possibly a Town Clock and a further reminder of time. "La Lanterne Rouge" tells us this cyclist has achieved the covetous title for coming last in the race which is indeed a prized honour and all the more admirable on a child's toy bicycle. I hope the viewer gets as much pleasure out of this work as I did in making it.

Please visit me on : www.mariannesturtridge.com I am an art teacher by profession and enjoy the constant challenges of "problem solving" and frustration that goes with art. Teaching art has encouraged me to experiment with new approaches and draw from a history of art knowledge. My paintings seek to convey a range of human feelings from community to alienation, sometimes with a religious, mythological or fantasy theme. While teaching children with physical disabilities I explored themes on attitudes towards disability, illness and censorship. The foundation of my work is drawing, often evolving into mixed media. My painting style ranges from traditional oil and watercolour painting to experimental work in a wide range of materials including computer-based art, bas-relief and ceramics. Alongside painting I have made clay sculptures including torsos and shoes. I use my life drawings as a starting point when making clay torsos and try to capture something of the person in this work.
